The Metz 45-CL4 Digital Flash (Digital Kit) is a heavy-duty handle mount flash that supports even the advanced TTL systems used with Digital SLR cameras: E-TTL II flash mode from Canon, i-TTL/i-TTL-BL and D-TTL from Nikon or ADI flash control from Sony/Minolta. The 45 series is the smallest amongst Metz handle-mount flashes that provide TTL capability.
In conjunction with the SCA-3045 connection cable (included) and a dedicated SCA 3002 system module, this flash will fully support all advanced functions of the camera and/or flash (where supported by the camera). This kit is the "digital" kit, which includes the SCA-3045 (MZ 53045) TTL cable, the high-power 45-57 NiMH Battery Cluster (MZ 53045) and a matching Universal charger. With the addition of a camera-specific dedicated TTL module, this set-up offers modern recharging technology with fully dedicated TTL flash control.
